ALL CASES

As Singapore served as the base for British war crimes investigations and prosecutions in Asia, the Singapore Trials dealt with war crimes committed not only in Singapore but in other locations through Asia. Based on available trial records, 30 Singapore Trials dealt with atrocities committed in part or wholly in Singapore. Many of these trials dealt with heinous crimes such as the Sook Ching massacre and Kempeitai torture. Some crimes, like the Alexander Hospital massacre, were considered for prosecution but not pursued due to lack of evidence.
